《The Chosen》灵感专辑发行：11首原创歌曲、950万次先行播放，Phil Wickham主打歌唱给抗癌好友
Nashville——全球热播剧《The Chosen》推出一张向剧中故事致意的原创音乐专辑：《Songs Inspired by The Chosen: Seasons 1–5》10月30日正式发行，共收录11首原创歌曲，由该剧出品方 5&2 Studios 与 Capitol Christian Music Group 联合出品。专辑主打歌是 Phil Wickham 的《SOS (Don't Let Me Go)》，The Chosen 官方频道已同步发布这首歌的歌词视频。
这张专辑的做法与一般原声带不同：它收录的不是剧中出现过的歌曲，而是邀请与这部剧有真实连接的音乐人，针对前五季的具体场景、人物与主题重新创作。完整阵容包括 Phil Wickham、Boyz II Men、Franni Cash、Tyler Hubbard、Lady A、LOST & FOUND、Jamie MacDonald、Blessing Offor、Jac Ross、Stephen Stanley、Madison Ryann Ward 与 Anne Wilson。
Phil Wickham 说，《SOS (Don't Let Me Go)》来自一段很私人的经历：一位好友与癌症抗争期间，他不断为对方祷告，也不断想到 Peter 在水面上行走的故事，提醒自己在人生最大的风浪里把目光放在耶稣身上；写歌几周后，The Chosen 团队恰好邀他以同一个故事创作。看着 Peter 呼喊「不要放开我」，他说自己在其中看见了朋友、自己，以及每一个单靠自己撑不下去的人。
专辑的先行曲自8月起陆续推出：Tyler Hubbard 的《All I Need Is You》率先发行，Jamie MacDonald 取材于诗篇第一篇的《Roots》随后跟进，Lady A 与 Boyz II Men 合唱的《I Love The One》与 LOST & FOUND 的《My Everything》也在专辑发行前释出。据出品方公布，已释出曲目累计录得 950 万次流媒体播放、150 万次视频观看，短视频平台相关创作逾 7,000 条、观看量超过 1,000 万次。
Anne Wilson 的《Even This》取材于剧中 Little James 向耶稣求医治的一幕。她说，这首歌讲的是相信上帝能使用人故事里的每一部分，包括最痛苦、最希望改变的部分；即使所求的医治没有在今生来到，上帝仍在使用人所经历的这一切。
5&2 Studios 总裁 Cam DeArmond 表示，全球数以百万计的观众以各自的方式与《The Chosen》相连，可能是某个人物、某一幕或某条故事线，出品方希望让有同样经历的音乐人用歌词与旋律表达自己的感受，为这部剧的体验再添一个维度。Capitol Christian Music Group 总裁 Brad O'Donnell 说，参与的音乐人不是在「写歌交差」，而是在回应打动他们的时刻。
《The Chosen》第六季将于11月15日在 Prime Video 独家上线，前五季目前也在该平台播出；同系列电影《The Chosen Crucifixion》定于2027年3月12日登陆院线。
11首曲目依次为：《SOS (Don't Let Me Go)》（Phil Wickham）、《Roots》（Jamie MacDonald）、《I Love The One》（Lady A 与 Boyz II Men）、《My Everything》（LOST & FOUND）、《All I Need Is You》（Tyler Hubbard）、《Even This》（Anne Wilson）、《Exile》（Stephen Stanley）、《Open The Well》（Madison Ryann Ward）、《Broken Me》（Blessing Offor）、《Beautiful Faith》（Franni Cash）、《Follow Me》（Jac Ross）。
11 Original Songs, 9.5 Million Streams: 'Songs Inspired by The Chosen' Album Arrives, Led by Phil Wickham's Single for a Friend Battling Cancer
Nashville — The global hit series The Chosen has a new companion in music: Songs Inspired by The Chosen: Seasons 1–5, an album of 11 original songs, was released on October 30 by 5&2 Studios, the creators of the series, together with Capitol Christian Music Group. The release is led by Phil Wickham's single "SOS (Don't Let Me Go)," whose lyric video is out now on The Chosen's official channel.
Unlike a conventional soundtrack, the album does not collect songs heard in the show. Instead, artists with a personal connection to the series were invited to respond in original music to specific scenes, characters and themes from the first five seasons. The full lineup includes Phil Wickham, Boyz II Men, Franni Cash, Tyler Hubbard, Lady A, LOST & FOUND, Jamie MacDonald, Blessing Offor, Jac Ross, Stephen Stanley, Madison Ryann Ward and Anne Wilson.
Wickham said "SOS (Don't Let Me Go)" came from a deeply personal place: as a close friend battled cancer, he prayed for him and kept returning to the story of Peter walking on water, and the reminder to keep his eyes on Jesus through life's greatest storms. Weeks into writing the song, the Chosen team asked him to write one inspired by that very story. Watching Peter cry out, "Don't let me go," he said he saw himself, his friend, and everyone who needs Jesus because they cannot do it on their own.
The rollout began in August with Tyler Hubbard's "All I Need Is You," followed by Jamie MacDonald's "Roots," inspired by Psalm 1, the Lady A and Boyz II Men collaboration "I Love The One," and LOST & FOUND's "My Everything." According to the labels, the released tracks have generated 9.5 million streams and 1.5 million video views, alongside more than 7,000 short-form creations and over 10 million short-form views.
Anne Wilson's "Even This" draws on the scene in which Little James asks Jesus to heal him. She said the song is about trusting that God can use every part of a person's story, even the most painful parts, and that even when the miracle prayed for does not come in this life, God is still using what a person is walking through.
Cam DeArmond, president of 5&2 Studios, said millions of people around the world connect with The Chosen intimately — through a character, a scene or a storyline — and the studio wanted artists who shared that experience to express it in lyrics and melody, adding another dimension to the series as Season 6 approaches. Brad O'Donnell, president of Capitol Christian Music Group, said the artists involved are not just writing songs, but responding to moments that moved them.
Season 6 of The Chosen premieres November 15 exclusively on Prime Video, where the first five seasons are now streaming, and the feature film The Chosen Crucifixion opens in theaters on March 12, 2027.
The 11 tracks are: "SOS (Don't Let Me Go)" by Phil Wickham; "Roots" by Jamie MacDonald; "I Love The One" by Lady A and Boyz II Men; "My Everything" by LOST & FOUND; "All I Need Is You" by Tyler Hubbard; "Even This" by Anne Wilson; "Exile" by Stephen Stanley; "Open The Well" by Madison Ryann Ward; "Broken Me" by Blessing Offor; "Beautiful Faith" by Franni Cash; and "Follow Me" by Jac Ross.
